Lukaku could face retrospective ban for hitting Bong(FA- He doesn't)

"Romelu Lukaku’s kickout directed at Brighton defender Gaetan Bong was missed by officials on Saturday - but a punishment could still ensue

Although the striker did not look at Bong, a frustrated Lukaku appeared to lash out at the defender in his own penalty area in the run up to United’s eventual winner from Ashley Young midway through the second-half.

It remains to be seen whether referee Neil Swarbrick includes the incident in his post-match report. If he confirms that he did not see the incident, the FA could hand Lukaku a retrospective ban."

I thought there was generally some blood between the players yesterday, we were obviously annoyed, this kick out, there was a foul on Martial outside of the box in the first half that was not given, some other stuff, I recall Ibra throwing one of their players like a bag of shite couple of minutes he came on. No wonder we didn't want to kick the ball out after that Lindelof tackle, nor do I blame our players. Let's see what happens with Lukaku.

Watched that clip about 6 times, and it looks absolutely nothing at all. Doesn't look at the guy, doesn't connect, just looks like getting clear of someone
If that becomes a 3 match ban we might as well all pack up

Sure, he looks like getting clear of someone by kicking at him with one leg and then the other. Nothing at all.

He clearly tries to kick him, fails the first time and connects the second time. It's pretty fecking obvious that Lukaku does it with intent.

He flicks out a leg in the universal gesture of go-away known since time immemorial. I think if Lukaku deliberately kicks you, you stay kicked. The Brighton player scarcely flinches, just steps back into the line.

How fecking stupid is he? I didn’t see it at all yesterday, but what the hell is he actually doing? If the ref had seen that, it’s a red card, the goal is off and we are not winning that game. He looks like a crazy horse trying to kick someone trying to climb him.

Lukaku needs to understand what it means to play for Manchester United, he was extremely lucky seeing this after the game.

You've got no idea what has happened beforehand, whether Bong was manhandling him or had a little kick that you cannot see there, there're many things that can wind a player up. Sure, shouldn't have happened, it's unprofessional that might be punished now but it happens to many if not all of the players.

What ? To react like that ? No, I'm sorry it doesn't happen to many of them

Doesn’t matter though, does it? Weaker teams/players are instructed by default to mess with our players. I know Zlatan was stepped on, but still didn’t warrant an elbow kind-of-thing. We won that game and won this one, but would have been incredibly different and uncomfortable for Lukaku had he been given the red card and us drawing/losing
